Help with choosing sub-woofers please
[clear thinker]   You and others advocate the crawl test as if all standing waves are bouncing around along the ground.  Surely they are present throughout the room, in which case we should also test whilst standing?  Would save my knees as well....

Buy a pair of XLR cables from Mono Price or Blue Jeans cables long enough to circle more than half way around your room. When the cables arrive order at least two sealed app equipped SVS subs which come with a convenient free trial period. Use on...

Any thoughts or recommendations regarding the Emotiva SE8 or REL subwoofer?
If your looking for subtle or extreme bass support to your taste where and when you want it, any rear panel manually controlled set it and forget it subwoofer is going to be frustrating.  I have a remote controlled subwoofer system with six memor... 
Feel free to talk me off the ledge
roxy54's advise is highly recommended. Its so worth the effort. All the subtleties of your room and system come together to hear a pure prospective. Differences that are difficult to assess at a show or in a showroom. Good luck with it.

SVS PB16 Ultra vs JL Fathom 113 vs ???
I had an F113 with A.R.O. which automatically adjusted one frequency peak in my home for a short time. It's output quality and loudness was very close to my Velodyne DD-18. I believe the JL version 2 with D.A.R.O. automatically addresses eighteen ... 
Remote Volume Control for a Sub Woofer
emailists, good to know thanks. Some years ago the remote stopped working. I dropped off the sub at Velodyne in Morgan Hill. They replaced the receiver (Front Panel) for free out of warrantee and purchased from a third party, amazing considering ...
